I assume you are using it for stop placement, not for signal generation... yes?

I looked at it many, many years ago, but I think most people prefer SuperTrend:

Hello,
what other indicators can accompany the parabolic sar in a reasonably useful way?

For me it is bollinger bands. I use psar on daily to trade in that direction then enter and exit when bollinger on the hourly is opposite. For example if psar is up (price trending up) I enter when price hits bottom bollinger and exit at the top of the bollinger.

Parabolic SAR is just another supertrend. Change the values and play with it and then compare to supertrend.
